Washington, June 20 (li.S.) 1'resident Roosevelt shifted to congress today the responsibility for immediate action on his billion dollar share-t he-wealth tax program. The White house indicated that while Mr. Roosevelt was desirous of early passage of his three-point program for increased tax levies on the wealthy, he preferred to let congress decide when and how the measure would le taken tip. Washington, June 20 (U.S.) President Roosevelt's new deal wealth redistribution program confronting congress today seeks an ultimate $1,000,000,000 added annual tax assessment against big business and few score of the largest individual fortunes.

Unaware of Tax Plan Most of the legislators were unaware the tax plan was coming. The immediate congressional reaction was confused but in general the plan found a partisan response of approval and objection. First congressional tax skirmish will come with a left wing senate effort to attach a high inheritance and excess profits PROPOSAL GETS UNITED SUPPORT AT BIG MEETING Committee Named to Prepare Definite Program of Procedure The movement lor the formation of a civic organization whose sole purpose will be to promote the eeneral welfare of Stevens Point and Portage county took definite shape at a public meeting held at Hotel Whiting Wednesday even ing. There were nearly a hundred persona present at the meeting, In eluding a number of business women, and after an open discussion in which the need of such an organization was stressed, unanim ous endorsement was given a pro posal that the voluntary commit tee which had been in charge of preliminary arrangements should continue its work by drawing up complete plans for a permanent or ganization. The committee consists of E.

A Wilson, G. F. Vetter, Leo Gullik- son, Myer Hanna and Chan Copps, It will proceed to draft a constitu tion and by-laws and prepare oth er recommendations, including an appropriate name, for submission to another general meeting to be held during the next few weeks When the details of organization have been perfected, it is the plan to inaugurate a systematic camp aign for membership and, as soon thereafter as possible, to place the organization on a functioning basis. Support Is Representative The attendance at Wednesday evening's meeting was evidence in itself of the strong sentiment back of the movement. It was impres sive not only because of its size.

but because of its representative character. To the observer it was apparent that the crowd was i fair cross-section of the popula tion of Stevens Point, including as it did, working men, retailers, bankers, clergymen, lawyers, doctors and representatives of various other groups embraced in the city's social and economic life. Cashin Presides mi j. ue meeting was presiaed over by Charles H. Cashin, who, in stat ing the purpose, made the point that the growth and development of Stevens Point and Portage county are being handicapped by lack of coordinated effort along civic lines.

He pointed to the success of other cities, which, through aggressive and coordinated work on the part of their citizens, have been able to acquire many benefits for their communities. Referring specifical ly to various units of the federal and state governments which have been located at Wausau and Wisconsin Rapids, he declared that if the Interests of Stevens Point had been protected, as they should have been, through the efforts of an or ganization acting for the people of mis community, tnis city, through its geographical and other ad vantages, might have been able to snare in these benefits. Know that at this time plans are Demg made for a broad program of highway work in Wisconsin," Mr. Cashin declared.

Champa climbed aboard the ca boose, at about 3:30 p. and presently was enroute to his destination on fast freight No. 26, in charge of Conductor Otto Langacker of Fond du Lac.

He paced up and down the car and when inquiry was made by members of the train crew as to what was the matter he re vealed his loss. Trainmen helped him search the caboose, and when the money was not found it was feared it might have been swept out of the car with sweepings and was scattered along the right of way. on tne cnance that the money might have dropped out of Champa's pants here, the local yard office was notified by wire after North Fond du Lac was reached, at 10 d.

In dictments returned by a federal grand jury revealed today that Margaret Waley, 19-year-old Utah girl who married an ex-convict against the wishes of her family, played a leading instead of a subordinate part in the kidnaping of George Weyerhaeuser of Tacoma. The jury found that tho blonde wife of Harmon Metz Waley, 25, not only rented the Spokane house In which the nine-year-old son of a Tacoma lumber millionaire was confined but also sent the ransom pay ment contact notes to John Philip Weyerhaeuser, father of the boy. Hefutes Earlier Stories The indictments refuted previous belief that Mrs. Waley had little to do with the abduction case, that she had remained aloof from any participation In the crime except the spending of the ransom money, and that she had had no Knowledge of the abduction until informed by her husband that the boy was hidden in the home at Spokane. Confirming previous suspicions that a woman had written the notes signed by the "Egoist," a single Indictment naming only Mrs.

Waley indicated that she might have written the notes demanding $200,000 ransom and arranging for Its payment. Second Note Revealed The second note was revealed In the grand jury proceedings which yesterday resulted In indictment of the Waleys and William Mahan, alias Grant, a fugitive, on charges of violating the Lindbergh anti-kid-naping law, of using the mails to defraud and of conspiracy to extort.

It's fun and as easy as falling off a log. Turn to the Classified page of today's Daily Journal right NOW! Department Washington, June 20 U.1! Attorney General Homer S. Cummings today promised to make a "sweeping" investigation of Ewing Y. Mitchell's charges against the department of commerce.

The investigation already is in progress under immediate direction of Assistant Attorney General Joseph B. Keenan, in cnarge of the criminal division, Cummings said. "It will not be limited to what Mitchell saw fit to write, but It will be sweeping enough to reach a definite conclusion," tho attorney general said. "An attempt will be made to find the exact facts." Cummings' announcement followed a second appearance of Mitchell, ousted assistant secretary of commerce, before the senate commerce committee. It was even less productive of facts than yesterday's hearing.

Mitchell repeated earlier charges that insufficient inspection and regulation by the commerce department "might have been" partly responsible for the Morro Castle disaster and the airplane crash in which Senator Bronson Cutting, Republican, New Mexico, was killed. "Mr. Mitchell will be given a full opportunity to submit any letters or testimony he cares to anything," Cummings said. Cummings said Secretary of Com merce Daniel C. Roper brought the question of the sale of ships to the justice department's attention sometime ago." Roper sought a legal opinion having to do with whether the government could break a contract for sale of ships to a Baltimore concern for scrapping.

"That happened long before I even knew Mr. Mitchell was con nected with the commerce department," Cummings said. Cummings said the contract "troubled Mr. Roper" and seemed to be one of the principal things "worrying Mr. Mitchell.

Asked what he thought about Mit chell's suggestion to President Roosevelt that he be appointed special assistant attorney general to conduct the inquiry, Cummings said: That introduces an element of humor in the situation."

Chicago, June 20 (CDThe defense struck a telling blow today in the trial of Louis P. Plu.uctt, lawyer for the Dillinger gang, when a suppressed statement signed by the government's ace witness was produced in court.

The statement, made by Vr Wilhelm Loeser to federal agents July 25, 1U34, absolved Piquett from nrevious testimony that he negotiated with Loeser and Dr. Harold B. Cussidy for face-lifting operations on the faces of John Dillinger and Homer Van Meter. Charged with AUIinif Uangnter Piquett, former city prosecutor and erstwhile bartender, Is on trial before a jury on charges of harboring the since-slain Van Met er. Loeser, who served time In Leav enworth penttontlury on narcotic charges, moved uneasily In the witness chair under a bluer cross-examination by Defense Attorney Emmett Byrne, explained that his mind was wandering when ne made the statement.

I was confused at the time, 'ho said. The government fought drsper- atcryto escape producing the unre- vealed statement until ordered to turn It over to Byrne by Judge Philip L. Sim-olid Mateinrni Loeser's testimony against Pi quett had been bused on a second statement to federal agenis, maue a monin arier tne nisi one. iuo second statement was used in Piquett's first trial last January when he was acquitted on similar charges of harboring Dillinger. The July 25 'confession pic tured Arthur O'Leary, young law clerk in Piquett's office, as the go-between In the negotiations be tween the gangsters and the plastic surgeons.

Piquett pleaded In his first trial that he was the victim of O'Leary's "knifing in the back" and that he know nothing of the operations on Van Meter and Dillinger until they had been performed. Loeser admitted on cross-examination today that Van Meter was a narcotic addict. "Did Dillinger use dope?" Byrne asked. "No," Loeser replied, "but Van Meter did. He took morphl.ie.

Ho always carried an automatic and a small box of the tablets, I'm sure It was morphine." Aided Itreincr Kidnaper Loeser revealed that the first operation he performed to obliterate the tell-tale finger prints of a criminal was on a fugitive hunted in connection with the $200,000 kidnaping of Edward G. Bremer, St. Paul banker. The "contact" was made by O'Leary, he said, more than a year ago. "I was taken, by O'Leary to Elgin, 111., and met there a man Introduced to me as a Mr.

Lane," Loeser said. "I became suspicious and learned that the man was William Elmer Mead, wanted In tho Bremer case. I got $300 for the job." Loeser, In his first statement to the federal authorities, said It was O'Leary who took him to the Chicago home of James Probasco where he found two men called "Johnny" and "Van." Operating on Fingers Cassldy was operating on their finger tips then," he said, according to the statement. "I was there only ten minutes but a week later O'leary came to me and said It would be healthy for roe to help Cassidy in the plastic surgery work. He promised rne $1,000" He said he was threatened by Dillinger and Van Meter with machine guns when he hesitated to take the job.

"I don't recall that Piquett ever talked to me regarding the operations on Dillinger and Van Meter until after the work was done," the statement said. "I only talked with hini regarding collecting the balance of my money from O'Leary and he said he would tell O'Leary to pay me."

WHIPPLE (United Press Staff Correspondent) Trenton, N.

June 20 ilUI) Three attorneys sought by argument and legal precedent today to save Bruno Richard Hauptmann from the electric chair. Appearing before the court of errors and appeals, they contended that the taciturn German carpen ter was not guilty of the kidnaping and murder of the Lindbergh baby and was unfairly and improperly convicted by his Flemlngton jury. Heard Secretly The appeal was heard secretly by 14 jurists. Every precaution was taken to preserve the calm, frosty dignity of one of New Jersey's highest courts. The proceedings were in marked contrast to the trial in Flemington where in packed courtroom a jury of country-folk listened to weeks of sen sational testimony and decided Hauptmann was guilty of one of the most revolting crimes of the generation.

The defendant himself was in the death house of New Jersey state prison. He probably will have to wait two to three months before the court hands down the decision that will mean life or death, to him. If it is against him, he will have but one appeal to the court of pardons, which is strictly tribune of mercy. If that fails, then the chair. Keilly Absent Hauptmann's case was argued by Egbert Roaecrans and Frederick A Pope, assisted by Lloyd Fisher, his present chief of counsel.

Fisher, not being a counsellor, could not argue. David T. Wilentz, attorney general and the fiery prosecutor who proved to the the satisfaction of the trial jury that Hauptmann is an arch-criminal, defended the conviction. Only these characters of the sen sational Flemington trial were pres ent. Absent was Col.

Charles A. Lindbergh, who day after day occupied a place behind the prosecu tor table. Also missing was Ed ward J. Reilly, colorful criminal lawyer and then Hauptmann's chief counsel. Reilly fell out with his client after his conviction and was dismissed by Hauptmann's wife, Anna.

Three Hours to l'resent Case The defense had three hours to advance its argument and give rebuttal, and the state the same time, The arguments will be concluded today. Hauptmann's appeal was based upon contentions that he was de prived of a fair and impartial trial and unfairly convicted. Principal arguments of his case were: (1) The defendant's rights under the 14th amendment of the constitution were violated because he was deprived of life and liberty without due process of law. Pro secution by the attorney general rather than the local prosecutor unduly influenced the jury. The attorney general went beyond the limits of non-partisanship and at tacked the defendant with "virulence and venom of the nearly barbaric advocate who tilted in the lists for the case of his principal." Changed Theory of Crime (2) Thf attorney general bullied and argued with Hauptmann and other witnesses; the state changed its theory of how the crime was committed during the trial, there by describing a crime different from that described in the indict ment.

(3) That it was the duty of the judge and the prosecutors to protect the rights of the defendants. and that they failed. (4) The attorney general chang ed the theory of the crime in his summation, which seriously damaged the defendant because be had no opportunity to offer rebuttal. (5) The state failed to prove the crime was committed in Hunter don county, where Hauptmann was tried, rather than in Mercer coun ty, where the body was found. 6 That Justice Trenchard, the presiding judge of the lower court, made a fair verdict impossible by the tone and nature of hia charge.

Resent Instructions 7) That Justice Trcnchard'a failure to instruct the jury on the weight it should give handwriting testimony was prejudicial to the defendant. (S That a state policeman who testified he found ladder marks on the side of the Lindbergh house was not qualified to give such testimony. (9) That the kidnap ladder had passed through too many hands to have been admitted as evidence. 10) That the testimony of Colonel Lindbergh was given undue weight because of his position. His presence in the court room "unduly and unfairly influenced the jury." tax rider to the $502,000,000 mils- ance tax bill which in due before the senate this week.

Hob Offer Tax Senator Robert M. La Folleltc. Progressive, Wisconsin, undertook to offer the tax rider. "We are confronted," he said, "with the alternative of taxing to maintain our credit or being forced Into uncontrolled Inflation." The "little fellow," individual or corporate, does not figure In tho Roosevelt plan a a new revenue source. But the president expressed confidence the program would progressively reduce the burden of the average tax payer.

A few thousand of the most profitable corporations and the select group of Individuals whose Incomes are $1,000,000 or more a year would pay most probably all of the new tax bill. The United Press was Informed that the Roosevelt tax plan was aimed principally at million-dollar Incomes, of which there were 48 In 1933. Presentation of this plan to encourage "wider distribution of wealth" and to curtail "inherited economic power" aroused psrtlsan house cheers and some senate enthusiasm as well as sharp differences of opinion. It was presented yesterday in a special message to congress. Will Consider Proposals Chairman Robert L.

Doughton of the house ways and means commit tee said he would summon committeemen today to consider the tax proposals. Senate radicals are maneuvering for Immediate enactment. But new deal congressional leaders generally desire delay until next session. Mr. Roosevelt's message suggested time would not per mit congress to do the job until next year.

He charged that existing tax poli cies have not prevented "unjust concentration of wealth and economic power." He said inherited economic power was as inconsistent with this generation bs was inherited political power when the colonies rebelled. Mr. Roosevelt warned that: "Social unrest and a deepening sense of unfairness are dangers to our national life which we must minimize by rigorous methods." The message committed the new deal to "restrict" individual Incomes in the higher brackets -over a year. The immediate Roosevelt plan to obtain ample revenue without discouraging enterprise and to distribute tax burdens equitably Is as follows: High Gilt Tax 1. High inheritance and gift laxe on all very large amounts received ny any one legatee or beneficiary." Segregation of this revenue for reduction of the national debt 2.

Tax levies to restrict "very great individual net Incomes." 3. Substitution of a graduated corporation tax ranging from to per cent for the existing 13. per cent rate. To this Immediate program Mr. Roosevelt added two lons-tlme ob jectives: 1 T- i.

How much more effective the efforts of this committee would be if it were given the support of an organization representing the whole community. History shows that the community which goes after things, which brings the most influence to bear, is the community that gets the most benefits." For County Too Mr Cashin also stressed the point that, if an organization were to be effected along the lines outlined, it should work not only for the progress of Stevens Point, but for the county as a whole.
